15LC Engillo Lg
Motorcycle Road Test: Suzuki Intruder 1500 LC
|
Tuned for low-rpm power with 30 percent more flywheel than the Intruder 1400, the 1500 has a similar 45-degree V angle with the same 45-degree crankpin offset. It also inherits the 1400's three valves (one exhaust, two intakes) per cylinder with hydraulic adjusters. Except for lowered compression and a new pentroof combustion-chamber design, the 1500's cylinder head and valve train share most of the same specs as the 1400. The valve sizes, angles, lift and timing are the same. Oil-cooling is utilized on both cylinder heads. The exhaust ports were shortened to further reduce heat transfer to the heads, and the intake ports are straighter and narrower than the 1400's to increase intake velocity. Plated cylinders permit the use of the same basic cases as the 1400. View Related Article
